| Description |
Eelie was the most unusual dog who arrived uninvited at the home of the celebrated Indian naturalist, Billy Arjan Singh, when she was a few months old, and stayed for the rest of her life to become his inseparable companion. Eelie took it upon herself to educate the three leopards which Arjan Singh reared at his home. First, there was the leopard cub, Prince, then the two sisters - Harriet and
Juliette. Later came the zoo-born Tara, who returned to the jungle to produce her cubs by a wild tiger. Guided only by her instincts, Eelie somehow dominated each of these formidable cats, and lived with them on equal terms. Even when they grew to be many times her size, they never hurt her, and she formed a unique bridge between the world of humans and that of wild creatures, linking the two in a
way never before seen or since.
Since the publication of his books Prince of Cats
and Tiger! Tiger!
, Arjan Singh has been asked by many readers to tell them more about Eelie. This book is a moving memoir of her, recalling the highlights in the life of an extraordinary dog and the amazing adventures which they had together in the jungles of northern India.
